Isle of Man IT company SBA has launched a new skills-based offering in the form of a 15-strong Virtual IT Team.
The venture will offer 'high end' business IT capability, the focus according to managing director Steve Burrows very much on the information part of IT.
Not technology provision, software development or hardware, the venture is about extracting more from and adding value to, technology in business.
Each member of the team is a specialist in their own field. Bringing them together - virtually - is according to Mr Burrows, the only feasible way of creating an integrated business IT capability the Island currently lacks.
He says local businesses are seeking the expertise elsewhere:
